Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Foliage area density peaked below the canopy middle and was skewed downward.
- Observation Light interception density peaked near the canopy middle with an almost symmetric distribution.
- Observation Upper and lower canopy foliage areas had a 51 : 49 ratio.
- Observation Upper and lower canopy light interception had a 73 : 17 ratio.
- Observation Foliage area ratios among upper, middle and lower story trees were 35 : 53 : 12.
- Observation Light interception ratios among the three tree stories were 48 : 47 : 5.
- Observation Trees above average stand height intercepted more than 80% of canopy light.
- Mechanism Individual tree light interception varied with additive effects of foliage area and interception per unit foliage area.
- Association Crown foliage area increased with the square of stem diameter at the crown base.
- Association Light interception per unit foliage area increased with the fourth power of tree height.
